I just returned from a stay at the Courtyard Marriott on Harbor Blvd. in Anaheim Ca June14th - 19th. I made my reservations back in Jan. of 08 and was told that I was booked for a Family Suite. My kids where happy to be getting their own area to sleep. Well when checking in I was told I was down for a reg. room with a sleeper sofa. I have stayed at this location many times in the past. I explained that I could have gotten the room for $129 for a reg. room when I made the reservation. Was told I was booked for a Family Suite at $159. The front desk told me that all the Family Suites where booked and that I could check out another Marriott in the area. Well all the other Marriott's where much more in price because we all know that making a reservation in advance gets you the best price. I was told that the reg. room was all that they could offer me. I have been in the Hotel business for many years and the front desk even the manager showed no compassion at all. I had to just take the room or risk having no where to stay. You have lost a good customer. I did notice that the Double Tree next door was very nice and had Suites. You live and learn. Show your customer that you care and not have to ask for front desk manager to come out several times???

We stayed at this hotel for two nights when we went to Disneyland back in March. Next time we go to Disneyland, I will definitely stay at a different hotel. It's not because the hotel is a dump or anything, it's far from that, it's actually quite nice. We just like big hotels with lots of dining options.

The hotel itself is really small, not very many rooms. I like big hotels with a nice pool and relaxing hot tub after a 14 hour day, a few descent restaurants (this one didn't have much to offer), a spa and a casino...just lots of stuff to do. This hotel is ideal if you are going to be waking up first thing in the morning at 7am and getting back at 10pm (not planning on spending a lot of time hanging around the hotel) and are eating out for all of your meals. There really isn't much to do in the hotel itself (not even a nice bar/pub to go to at night for drinks and appies), obviously it is really close to Disneyland, Knott's, Universal, etc which is a good thing. There is a tiny pool and hot tub. The rooms weren't anything spectacular. Beds were comfortable. The bathrooms on the other hand...I wasn't impressed. Our room was really clean so was the bathroom, I just didn't like the layout. The rooms are NOT soundproof either, there were about 100 cheer leaders staying at the hotel so you can imagine the noise echoing through the halls at night. As for dining options in the hotel there is not a good selection. There is one restaurant I believe and the food was very bland. We only ate two meals at the restaurant, breakfast and one dinner and that was only because we were too tired to go anywhere else. I was able to get on the computer once (there is only one) but it was hard because there forty high school cheerleaders who all wanted to check their email too. We went when it was the National Cheer Leading competition and it was so busy and loud at the hotel, I really didn't like all the noise. The staff is great. Very friendly and catering to every need.

I wouldn't stay at this hotel again. It isn't a bad hotel at all, it's a great value for your money and is really clean it just isn't the type of hotel we like to stay at. I would recommend it to family and friends, I just wouldn't want to stay there again.

My family and I stayed in a suite. There was plenty of room, and the place was spotless. The building itself is lovely and very well decorated. The staff were very sweet and kind, and the breakfast was to die for.

It made the Disneyland that much more magical. Awww.

I frequent Marriott hotel chains & decided to try this one since it’s new and new hotels are always nicer. This hotel is new, has 4 floors, non-smoking and is nice & cozy. I stayed here for 4 days in May.

I made my reservation directly on the hotel’s website for $95.20/night for 2 queen beds. I did see $89.50/night a couple of days earlier, but by the time I made my reservation the rate had changed.

The hotel is situated behind Ruth’s Steakhouse & it’s easy to miss it if you’re not paying attention the first time. Check-in was quick & pleasant. I asked for a quiet room & was given the top floor at the end of the hall. There’s 1 elevator per floor & sometimes it was slow.

There’s no Valet or Bellman however, there are big carts at the front door to help you haul your luggage to your room. Parking is $9/day (why?), other hotels I stayed at in Anaheim had free parking. You’re given a tag to hang on to your rear-view mirror your car doesn’t get towed.

There are 4 self-service washers & dryers next to the pool. It’s $1.75 for the washer & $1.50 for the dryer. You can buy a small box of Tide, Cheers laundry powder detergent for $1/box from the dispenser.

Remember to use the “bright colors” cycle if you have a large load when drying your clothes because it provides longer drying time (99 minutes) than other cycles (30 minutes). That way, you don’t have to keep checking if your clothes are dry & adding more money every 30 minutes. You can get change from the front desk.

Room had 2 comfortable queen beds, 2 desks (1 could be pulled out), 1 chair, 1 single-person couch seat, fridge, coffee maker & coffee. It looks like the picture posted on its website. The beds were comfortable, pillows were soft/ downfill feathery type. The closet is one of the smallest I’ve ever seen. Everything still looks new though.

The lobby has newspapers, Seattle’s best coffee & hot water for free in the lobby every morning. There’s a computer & printer with complimentary internet across from the front desk.

If you provided your email address when making a reservation on the hotel’s website, you’ll get an email confirmation of your reservation & a discount code when you rent a car with Hertz.

I used that discount code to rent a car with Hertz. The hotel is close to CVS Pharmacy, Albertson grocery store, restaurants. I had no problem getting around with a car.

If you have time on your hands, go to Anaheim’s largest flea market called Anaheim Market Place located on South Anaheim Blvd, less than 1/2 mile from Disneyland. It’s Orange County's largest indoor swap meet (flea market).

It’s open everyday from 10 am - 7pm & closed on Tuesdays. It has booths after booths of clothes, T-shirts, souvenirs, luggages, housewares, lingerie/underwear, 14K & silver jewelry, all kinds of knick-knacks. Most of the vendors are Mexican or Korean. I saw people bargained for some good deals.

In summary, the only negative points of this hotel were the $9/day parking charge & small closet space. Otherwise, I highly recommend this hotel. It’s new, very clean & situated in a convenient location.
